AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The District implemented new procurement protocols for federal funding compliance, but these were not in place for half of the 22-23 fiscal year.
  • Impacted Requirements: Compliance with Uniform Grant Guidance acquisition thresholds was not ensured during the initial period of the fiscal year.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Monitor adherence to the new protocols and assess their effectiveness in future procurements to prevent similar issues.

Finding Text

View of Responsible Officials: The District has reviewed the applicable Uniform Guidance from the Federal Office of Management and Budget and has developed administrative procedures to aid with ensuring that all procurements financed with federal funding fully comply with Uniform Grant Guidance Federal acquisition thresholds and requirements. On June 15, 2023, business office representatives met with staff members potentially involved with procurements that may be federally funded. The business manager reviewed the newly established protocol developed to assist with compliance with all in attendance. The protocol was officially deployed on July 1, 2023, but unfortunately was not in place during the 22-23 FY. It is noted that one-half of the 22-23 FY was already over at the time the district received notification of this initial finding.
